Jeffrey’s Antique Gallery

Holy carp, Batman — this place is huge! It took over 2 hours to just do one side of it! Found a couple of great pieces that I was looking for, found some things that I would have loved if my wallet was larger, and had a blast search for hidden gems. Lots of fun shopping with my friend.

We stopped here on our way home from Michigan. We both love antiquing and peddler’s malls so it seemed like a good stop. It was ok. After a quick walk through and pit stop at the restroom we hit the road. Prices were much higher than the Lexington Peddler’s Mall or other places we have been over the years. I’m pretty sure they’re taking advantage of the location along the interstate.

Wide variety of merchandise. Clean store, nice people. Definitely worth a stop to check out what they have. Wide variety of prices on the same item, so look around enjoy the stroll through memory lane. Be sure and write down the items you want and the booth number, because the place is big.

Building says open everyday 10 – 6 stopped by twice and neither time they have been open. Frustrating.

I like to stop in here periodically. Lots of dishes to choose from, some tins, lots of Christmas décor items when I was there earlier this week. Furniture, old toys, records, you name it, it is probably here.

My wife likes to stop at Jeffreys Antiques Sunday afternoon (s) when we are heading back to Michigan. In the past I have looked forward to watching the ongoing golf tournament (summer) in the waiting area (albeit on an ‘antique’ 19″ tube-​type TV with hazy picture) — while my wife spends money. Turned out the TV was not working on 8÷3÷2014; not what I anticipated — had to read a book.
** Suggestion to ‘management’: get a new-​tech flat screen TV (larger — 32″ or ?) for the benefit of ‘waiting-​room’ customers (newer TVs are now very affordable, should no longer have to resort to using an ‘antique’). And while I am at it, suggest adding a few upholstered chairs to supplement/​replace some of the existing non-​padded wooden chairs (and table sets) — I’m sure it works well as a lunch area but the hard chairs leave a lot to be desired in the comfort category — for long-​sitting sufferers. One of the female employees reminded me (when I requested turning on the TV — unsuccessful) that the football season is nearly here, and weekend (college and pro) games are very popular with customers’ spouses (apparently the TV has been out of commission for awhile). (New TV would merit 5-​star rating)

My husband and I have been antique dealers since 1981. We have been to hundreds of antique malls all across the US. Jeffrey’s is one of the best! It is an easy on and easy off I-​75. There is plenty of parking! Bathrooms and drinking fountains are located in two places in the mall. At corners and aisle ends, you will find an occasional chair if you need to sit for a minute. The key staff is readily available! There are also lights you can switch on for help and intercom phones. Staff will take your items to the front so your hands are free to continue shopping!
Jeffrey’s has a good variety of items for both the general population and the advanced
collector! Although there are not many booths of just furniture, there is a lot of furniture scattered throughout the mall. Unlike many malls, you will not find currently produced items or crafts. Items must be a minimum of 25 years old.
Many of the dealers are quite active and service their booths weekly! Items are added every day! Plan to spend about two hours if you are going to shop the whole mall.
Great Antique Mall!

Good quality stuff, with enough variety to please most people.
It’s not as big as it looks, we went through rather quickly.
My faves were the booths with the Industrial chic” look.
Overall prices seemed reasonable.

If you happen to be driving up or down I-​75 on the way elsewhere, as has been the case for my husband and I a few times in the past year, this is a great pit stop. (Of course, if you’re with my husband, this will add two hours to your trip…) Good antiques selection, (mostly) fair pricing — no complaints. If you have to go to — or drive through — Findlay, this place will make the trip one to look forward to.

Holy Hannah, this place is huge! It took hours to move through. Luckily there are bathrooms in each section, and there are team members abound holding huge janitor like key rings to unlock the cases of items that you really want, but can’t afford. There are tons and tons of unique «booths» here, and if you have the day to look for trinkets, do it. The prices vary from the sublime to the ridiculous. I purchased some vintage 1960 ads, but instead of paying $ 5 each at a booth that had preserved them individually, I found a stack of Life and Ebony magazines that were untouched for $ 2 each. They are loaded with awesome ads. My favorite was a cowgirl wearing her maidenform which said, «I dreamed I was wanted in my maidenform». Priceless. They have team members who will grab everything you’ve gathered, give you a number, and will graciously take your purchases to the front so that you don’t have to drag them around (and, have more room to gather up additional items). Genius. Apparently there is a sister mall about 3 hours south that is twice it’s size. I’ll need 2 days for that one.

I’m going to give this a good as it gets from the standpoint that we drove from Michigan as a surprise trip for me based on the fact that they said they are pet friendly. We are training our lab to be a therapy dog and finding places that let you bring a labrador inside to socialize and train is difficult. They all loved Maggie and that alone gets them five stars.
I personally love that they have a TON of tzchotchkies but would say that they also have a nice balance of some very nice antique pieces of furniture and at decent prices from what I’ve seen here in S.E. Michigan by comparison. Your inventory is based on your consignors and they have some great items presented with great care.
It is clean. Orderly. The staff is helpful and knowledgable about what they have. They have carts to help you with large items and the staff provides claim numbers to help you with your stash as you shop. They seem to have an excellent system from what I observed.
We’ll be back even if it is a 2 ½ hour drive!

I’ve only been to Jeffery’s a handful of times, because I’m not one for antiquing. Its self-​proclaimed size is a bit misleading, and it has more than one location. The sister business, Springfield Antique Center, is located on Interstate 70 off of exit 59.
Members of my family are, but I’m not. Regardless, as KZ pointed out, there are more knickknack items available here than what I’d consider true antiques (pristine Victorian furniture, priceless vases from years ago, etc.). It seems in the antiques craze in the 90’s had many considering the plastic Transformers lunch pail or the McDonald’s collectible glassware an antique.
I was able to procure an inexpensive, wooden chair from this establishment about three years ago. It was a bit of a scavenger hunt, but it was possible. I can be thankful for that. Also, the staff has provided our family with great service, and even though their booth renters have little to provide, kudos to them for being polite.

When you’re driving by Jeffrey’s on Interstate 75, a giant sign seems to boast, «Ohio’s Largest Antique Mall.» As you pull into the parking lot, you notice the fine print adds «NORTHWESTERN OHIO’S.»
If you want furniture, the selection’s a bit slim. This joint seems to have more knick-​knacks than anything. The staff was very helpful in quickly stashing items for shoppers and providing claim buttons.
I’m not an antique-​store expert, but my shopping buddy was, and she said this place is sub-​par.
